Sterling Scholar

By Krista Smith

  This year, Monticello High School will be well represented in the Desert News-KSL 5 Sterling Scholar program by nine outstanding students.  They will be competing against many other students from across southeastern Utah on March 14th at CEU in Blanding.                        

  Marilyn Redd is the schools nominee in General.  Marilyn graduated early and will be attending BYU.

Diana Hall is the chosen representative in the category of Fine Arts.  She is a brilliant artist and will be graduating with her associates degree.

Representing MHS in the Trade and Technical Education category is Desiree Wright.  Des is tech savvy and likes to spend her time downloading, editing and creating on her P.C.

For the complete article, stay tuned for the next issue of the Lariat………………….

 

 

 

  Welcome Back, Walker!

 

  Walker, Texas Ranger, what a powerful show and with amazing star Chuck Norris as the lead, how could it ever be cancelled?  Tragically, in May of 2001 the final episode was produced.  Since the demise of Walker, Chuck has become increasingly popular leading to the revelations of many facts about Chuck Norris.  Here are a few of our favorites:

·          Chuck Norris does not go hunting because hunting implies failure.  He goes killing.

·          There is no theory of evolution, just a list of creatures Chuck has allowed to live.

·          The chief export of Chuck Norris is pain.

·          There is outer space because it is afraid to live on the same planet as Chuck Norris.

·          Chuck Norris can win a game of monopoly without owning any property.

·          There is no life on Mars because Chuck Norris has already been there.

  If you ever find yourself at an awkward moment of conversation wishing to state the obvious without offending anyone who falls into any “minority” then just remember a few of these politically correct terms. Who knows it may save a friendship!

  Don’t worry, no one’s dead, but terminally inconvenienced or if you prefer they are a permanently static post-human mass.

  Mr. Brewer isn’t really bald but is instead comb-free and Mr. Palmer is only folically challenged.

  The klutzes are simply kinesthetically challenged  

 

 

 

and the clumsy only suffer from hand eye coordination inconveniences. No one is too tall or too short, rather a person of height and vertically challenged or little people.

  And that road kill you see on your way to Moab is simply vehicularly compressed maladapted life form.

  Finally you will never meet an ugly person (whew!) they are just aesthetically challenged,

cosmetically different, or even facially challenged.

  Hopefully these helpful terms will let you know just what to say in those long pauses and if not well then just state the obvious.
